Fixed first person view. When your guy gets knocked down (big daddy), the camera acts as if you're looking up from the floor. Nothing stellar.

If you're referring to using a widescreen monitor and having that issue with the visible screen, yeah, its still there.

This notion implies that there have been billions of System Shock games released or something. I can't remember a time where Ken Levine and his team hadn't implied that they wanted to make a spiritual sequel to System Shock 2... and how a lot of the stuff they just wanted to refine. The majority of your list of "this is a bad game" reasons are ethereal and cowardly. Yes, you have an opinion, dear god don't go telling everyone at once.

You know what, fuck that. Yeah, you didn't like it, yet you make constant comparisons to Doom 3 and can't quite realize that Doom 3 was derivative of System Shock, not the other way around.

Tagonist Aug 29, 2007 07:09 PM

Erm... I compared bad scripting like it can be found in Doom 3 with bad scripting in Bioshock, which was WHERE exactly in the original System Shock games? Yes they had some scripting, but that didn't involve sudden enemy spawns when you found new weapons.
I give the horde of Splicers swarming in on you after you touch the Shotgun a benefit of a doubt, that's so close to Doom it could be a direct "quote" from it, a nod to id or something.
But later, that's just bad scripting.
And doesn't have anything to do with Doom derivating things from System Shock. Doom 3 DID borrow some things from the Shock games (and did so pretty well), but that kind of scripted enemy spawn situations is something like a trademark of the series. Maybe not a quality one, but still a trademark.

And regarding game mechanics, it's not a spirtual sequel, it's more like a remake.
And sadly not one of the remakes that actually improve anything.

Still, I guess I never actually said anything about Bioshock being a bad game. I'm beginning to sound like a broken record... It's an okay game. But that's pretty much it. I can have some fun with it, but there's just too much things going on that spoil it for me.
If you're enjoying it a lot more than I do, fine, be my guest.
Just don't expect me to join the parade.

YO PITTSBURGH MIKE HERE Aug 29, 2007 08:54 PM

Just finished the game, and loved every minute of it. It really does deserve all of the high praise it's been getting. The gameplay was terrific, and the story was the most compelling I've ever seen in a game. Can't wait to play through it again!

Jurassic Park Chocolate Raptor Aug 29, 2007 09:03 PM

This just in. Monster closets were invented in and are directly ripped off of Doom 3. Yup yup.

YO PITTSBURGH MIKE HERE Aug 29, 2007 09:04 PM

This shit ripped off Pong so bad. Pixels, man. FUCKING PIXELSLLLSLS ARHGHGHHHHHH

Bioshock review

a very funny review of bioshock. Anyone who dislike the game because of the gameplay will enjoy this review and for people who did enjoy the game will probably still laugh like I did XD

I so like the reviews of this game XD (never heard someone talk this fast XD)

Lol, I've just posted some of his reviews in the treasure chest in the sewers. Nice timing XD.

KnowsNothing Nov 4, 2007 08:13 PM

Bumping just to say this: I lost the manual to this game. You know what that means? I no longer own the game. The activation code is on the manual (which is RETARDED), so unless my current hard drive lasts forever, at some point in the future I won't be able to play a game I paid for.

I hate this shit. I should just pirate. When my two options are either pay $50 for a number and permission to install a few times or pay absolutely nothing and actually own the game...well, I don't know why I stopped pirating in the first place.

</frustration>

Slayer X Nov 4, 2007 08:17 PM

Well if you've pirated before, then you should know that all you need to do is download one of the 10,000,000,000 key & crack files for the game off your favouriate random torrent hosting site and you'll be back in business.

For future use burn the files to a CD and throw it in the BioShock game case. God knows that the case can hold like 6 discs anyway.

Inhert Nov 4, 2007 10:12 PM

I think they took out the activation a little while ago.

here's a page that seem to explain it, not sure if it will help you: The Cult of Rapture: Articles

Slayer X Nov 4, 2007 11:07 PM

That's how to deactivate a code so that it no longer counts as 1 of your 2 alloted installments. KnowsNothing still needs a CD key in order to install and play the game. Two seperate incidents Inhert. ^^

Got a 360 this Halloween, along with Bioshock, and I must say, it's fucking awesome. It's been keeping me occupied since.

Spoiler:
Playing on Normal mode, I've reached Olympus Heights, looking around, completing my goals while Fontaine keeps dragging my maximum health down. (For future reference, does it keep going down after a certain amount of time passes, or is it scripted to certain points of the game?) I've got all the weapons, a fully upgraded Revolver, with a speed-upgraded shotgun. Just have to find the rest of the Power to the People stations...


Afterwards, I plan on trying to play in Hard mode. I almost freaked out before when the game started to have little frame-skips (I thought I had scratched the CD even though I've been taking incredible care of it.), only to find out that I could get rid of the skips if I clearing the cache by holding LB and RB. >_<

Seeing as how I played it through on Medium the first time and the only achievement I'm missing is the one for beating it on Hard, waiting worked in my favor. Definitely going to give Bioshock a second runthrough sometime this week.

Same. Doubt I'll go through it again quite so soon, but I was always planning to go through on hard, so bonus.

liuu Dec 4, 2007 02:37 PM

What sucks is silver member can only download the patch, not the DLC. Since I don't plan on ever buying Xbox live gold, it looks like I won't be able to ever try the new plasmids.

Megalith Dec 4, 2007 03:00 PM

Awesome.

I just started playing the game again a couple of days ago.

No game can touch Bioshock's sound mix.

Eleo Dec 4, 2007 03:15 PM

What, I have to play this garbage again?

Also, couldn't they have added 250 points? Why just 100?

BRB getting this gay shit.

Silver members just have to wait a week.

Cool thanks for clearing this up for me.

Blades Of Ice Dec 5, 2007 10:02 PM

Bioshock is a steaming pile of crap without a powerful computer system or Xbox 360. So, yeah. I'm playing it on PC with a low end graphics card. The atmosphere of the game is lost when you can't run it on full settings with the detail cranked up. All the sounds and environments make the game what it is, and without it the game is just another shooter in my games folder.

DBCE Slayer Dec 7, 2007 03:53 AM

For those that have played Bioshock with the new content installed, when does the EVE Saver tonic become available and I mean not the one that gives you a bit of health when you use EVE Hypos, I mean the new one from the DLC.

klonopin Dec 23, 2007 04:58 PM

Yeah, it's was quite amusing. I replayed System Shock 2 a week ago. (took a LOT to get that working on XP) and man...after you finish that, you WANT MORE! MORE!

I hope my PC can run this. I might actually upgrade for this if it's not.

I saw a 25 minute video of the gameplay, and that looks good, however like Gechmir I'm also interested in the story. Despite you being alone on the ship 99% of the time in SS2, you got all the info with the data files you found all over the ship, that slowly but surely told you exactly what happend while you were in cryo.

BioShock PS3 Confirmed

(I hate it when I bump these old ass threads.)
I never got a chance to play the game, so I guess I'm pretty pumped...
